Yes, they will upgrade the ground floor to 2.59 for free as it is included in the super infinite package.

Hi guys,

I've just discovered this forum and wish I'd done so earlier. We're doing a KDR in Pendle Hill building a Grandworth Newbury MKII 37. We've just had the slab laid 6/05 and they've done outdoor drainage 10/05, frames to be delivered 15/05, went steel frames with hybrid trusses. Seems to be progressing quickly.

We upgraded ground floor to 3M ($8k) and upstairs to 2.7 ($4k), as my wife and I want ceiling fans and have always fancied high cielings. Thank you all for your insight and happy to keep this going to contribute as we progress and any help or suggestions along the way is appreciated

the facade cost does not include full brick on the back wall, if you want full brick it's another 6k-9kish.

DA costs are all included, unless additional BASIX upgrades are needed. council we had to pay an inspection fee to the council for the council owned part of the driveway i think around $300.

demo around 20-30k. 6k electrical is okish unless you want to add networking points. it's the colour selection that could be over budget for you. e.g. if you want full floor to ceiling tiles in the bathrooms in the standard tile range it's goign to be around 9k upgrade, if you want better tiles as the standard ones are not that great your looking at another 5kish. that's just tiles, carpet if you want to upgrade the carpet it's around 3k i think. i would not do laminated flooring with them, if you want to do laminated flooring get the carpet/tiles removed from that section and find someone after handover to do. they were quoting $80/sqm to upgrade and it's a fairly low quality flooring. you can get quickstep installed for less then $100/sqm

their secureview screen doors are priced reasonably, we paid $1k for the front door one. which is on par doing it after handover.

but yes your colour selection the cost will add up. if i add in my tiles cost we spent 45k all up in colour selection. and thats after the 12k voucher.

i suggest you don't do any tile upgrade at the colour selection, but do it with the tilers directly.

Thanks mate! I was going to keep the carpet upstairs and just stick to the one that is included in the price. I have a young child and hope to have more and hence expect the carpet will be trashed as they grow up. Will change the flooring upstairs later. Downstairs flooring is something I'm more interested in. The inclusion is 600x300 porcelain glazed tiles, bamboo or laminate. I was thinking to go with the porcelain tiles or the laminate depending on the options available. Do you have any pics of the included tile and laminate ranges? Btw who is the tile supplier maybe I can google the products them if you have a name.

Parador Classic series, they have it on display at the office ground floor.

Thanks for sharing mate! Not many pics out there which shows the included range

Soil test was done and we are having the first tender meeting this weekend. What are the things that I need to keep an eye out for that will not be included? Can someone advise on the items to add/check before we sign the tender? I want to push and everything I need to be included in the tender. Don't want to go for variations as we are tight on the budget. Thanks in advance!
